Sheraton Mexico City US$65 per night

Second week of October.

Greetings,

I am new to bidding on priceline and it looks like I have already made an expensive mistake.

I bid for a 4 star hotel in mexico city, but my offer was rejected. So I increased my bid and made a required change which was to add a 1 star hotel to the search. The logic was that since there were no 1 star hotels available, the offer would only apply to 4 star hotels.

However, Priceline added a 2 star hotel to the search. Now I am stuck with a fleabag 2 star hotel for an outrageous price.

My question is, did priceline have the right to add a 2 star hotel to my bid per the priceline terms and conditions?

Am I entitled to a refund from priceline?

Thank you for any help!

David

hi there, I am new to priceline as well, as far as I know, it only applys to anything 4* or better, if you add 1 star, it will only consider 4* and 5*s. No way you get a 2* hotel base on what you said.

I made a terrible mistake bidding on a hotel room. I bid on a 4 star hotel room in Mexico City and my bid was not accepted. So I increased my price and made a required change.

The change I made was to add a 1 star hotel to the search with the logic being that since there were no one star hotels available, I could rebid on a 4 star hotel at the increased price.

However, priceline "upgraded" me to a 2 star hotel and accepted my offer.

Would it be possible to recieve a full or partial refund?

now I understand. so added "1* or better" in your bid... you lucky enough they didn't give you a 1* hotel at your bidding price.
